the new program of classes for the rest of 2019 , 2020 and a few in 2021 is nearly complete, just waiting for one new tutor to give me title and dates then the newsletter will go out to my mailing list… but do have a look at what s on offer … three new tutors offering amazing courses as well as all the other talented tutors proposing some brand new classes

The programme of new classes is here, although all the sessions are listed in the classes section of this site, not all the information sheets are there yet, so please bear with me, I am going as fast as I can … still waiting on a couple of requirements lists here and there

Sorry I have been so quiet, i have had a traumatic couple of weeks …. I have been at two back to back shows, The Scottish Quilting Show in Glasgow followed by Fashion and Embroidery at the NECin Birmingham … however, the clutch went on the way up and the clutch master cylinder went on the way back!!

Now trying to catch up with myself ..the only class left in March is Clare Bullock’s felting class on Friday and Saturday(23&24), we could squeeze one more if anyone wants to come very last minute .. she is teaching ‘Mapping with Prefelts, Landscape and Print’ so a fun two days ahead.

April sees the start of my creative textiles monthly class and the procion monthly class continues, both of these are full but you can always reserve a place for next year!!

Caroline Bell’s classes start this month with Spring Eco on 17&24 April, two consecutive Tuesdays, again we have a space or two at a squeeze on this course, hopefully spring will have sprung by then!

Mel Rose has two life drawing groups running on Sat 21 and Sun 22 April, both of these are full this month but there are a sprinkling of spaces in future months if you are interested.

Finally and certainly not least, Debbie Lyddon is coming to the Granary Studio to teach ‘Exploring Place’ for 4 days 26-29 April, again this one is full but I have had two cancellations for the extra class we have put on for the waiting list … 8-11 May, so, if you would like to work with this inspiring tutor, please let me know, I am sure these places will go quickly

Sorry this is a bit wordy, but hopefully you are already booked on something, if not, why dont you fill one of these spaces!

if you want to come with a friend then we might be able to squeeze another in

There has been a last minute cancellation on Clare Bullock’s class ‘Versatility of Felt’. Clare is a lovely tutor who will take you through a variety of felt techniques, you will create a series of samples of beautiful, fine felt surfaces.

‘The Versatility of Felt’ is a two day class, running on Fri/Sat 27 and 28 October 2017 and each day runs from 10-4. The cost is £90 and tea,coffee and biscuits are provided throughout the days, you should bring your own lunch

This is the first of a series of five workshops Clare is teaching here at The Granary Studio in the coming months, do visit our website for further details of these excellent classes

Let me know soon if you would like to take the place, there are b and b’s in the village an a welcome at the Granary in Owslebury

The excellent Caroline Bell has a couple of spaces on her Autumn Eco printing class which is running on two consecutive Tuesdays, 10&17 October…this is a fun class which results in a tremendous variety of colours and shapes on paper and fabrics, every class that Caroline teaches varies according to what we can find around the village, what the weather is, how advanced each season is etc …

I have two names in my open studios book who are interested in Caroline’s classes but sadly they didnt leave their email addresses or phone numbers, which is a shame…

Secondly, the amazing Clare Bullock is running ‘the Versatility of Felt’ on Fri/Sat 27 and 38 October also has a couple of spaces, she is a fun tutor who has a really sensitive affinity for felt, no lumpy dog blankets here, only very fine beautiful surfaces ..

Both these classes are two days each running from 10.00-16.00 and cost £90 for the two days. tea, coffee and biscuits are available all day but you will need to bring your own lunch…. there are three bed and breakfasts available in the village and there are wonderful walks for partners if they wish to come too. Owslebury is a pretty village with a lovely pub…
